Wheel sizes.....flush?

Hey guys, looking at some wheels and just want to double check. I'm not looking to do hella flush thing but I don't want the sunken look either. the wheel sizes proposed are 20x8.5 + 15, 20x10 + 20. Will this be ample enough sizes to get that flush with the fender look? Also, what size tire would you recommend? Thanks.

Oops, this should be in the wheel and tire section. Mods feel free to move it. As for my question, anyone got any advice or pics?

I never had those sizes but I think they should fit pretty flush. Most likely just got to pick the right tire sizes. Hope someone with experience can chime in.

I was thinking about going with 255/35/20 in the front and 285/30/20 in the rear? However, my first thought was to go with 245/35/20 in the front and 275/30/20 in the rear. Thoughts? Also, do I really need to go with a 35 series tire in the front (why not 30)? Thanks.

I've ordered Vossen CV1's in 20x9 all the way around with a +32 offset. I'm new to this aftermarket wheels thing, but the guy from the shop where I ordered them said they'd work just fine. I want the same size and offset so I can rotate them. I went with 255/35/20 Hankook V12's.

Not only that, we have staggered OEM setups. Why would you order 4 wheels the exact same size?? You don't need to ROTATE them, you take them in and have the tire flipped. Not only that, the same tire/wheel sizes will be be completely sunk inin the rear, and too large in the fronts.

If you can, I would cancel your order or modify it ASAP!

they gunna poke out to much, pro kit isnt much of a drop. u need less aggressive offsets bro. if you have s techs or hr's you would be good but might have to use a stretched tire, or normal tires with a lot of shaving of ur bumper brackets

Not sure why a wheel size that Vossen offers in the CV1 won't have the deep concave? The wheel I want comes in 20x9 and they are making them for me, specifically, so they know I'll be putting them on a 2011 G37S.

It's not like I'll be entering the car in shows, or driving it ***** to the wall on the autobahn. I just want it to look better and not go through tires left and right.
